The problem is that the server is still regarding it as the same session
even if a different user comes along and logs in.

Right, but the server isn't thinking of it this way.

This might actually work quite well.

Then something is wrong in your code. If you properly clear the session of
all of it's contents, then even if I pass the same session id on the next
page request, it should see me as a new user since there is no data in the
session.
